Voters face three constitutional questions in November election
When Tennessee voters go to the polls in November, they’ll see three constitutional amendment questions on the ballot, two of them dealing with crime and punishment and the other with banning a state property tax.
Republican leaders launched a “Yes on 2” campaign this week to pass the measure prohibiting the state from enacting a property tax, which is to be the second question on the ballot.
Lawmakers and county officials, in addition to representatives of groups such as Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Farm Bureau of Tennessee, will be leading county campaigns to pass the ban, even though the state hasn’t had one for more than 75 years. Senate members will not receive mileage reimbursement to support the campaign.........
The first amendment set to appear on the Nov. 3 gubernatorial ballot would remove the right to bail “when the proof is evident or the presumption great” for defendants charged with one of 73 felony crimes requiring at least 85% of the sentence to be served. The decision to set bail would be left to judges in all of those cases.
